If you mean, can the home page actually be a different, editable page, then 
yes: go to Admin > Site configuration > Site information, and there's a 
"default front page" setting near the bottom. You can then change this to 
point to any other URL on your site, including e.g. a node of type "Page" 
which you can put editable content on.

Out of the box, Drupal sets the default front page to be the same as /node , 
which (again out of the box) produces a list of the last few nodes to be 
created and "promoted" to the front page. This is why you're seeing the 
story on the front page: if you added more stories, they'd probably appear 
there too.

Cheers,
